Scope and content
Autograph letter signed to family on headed paper from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel New York, written on the train to Washington City and then the Shoreham Hotel Washington. They will proceed to Palm Beach, Havana, Mexico and then California. Is getting on well with Peter [Watson], but they are of very different temperaments. Has done a great deal of work for Vogue. Has sent some gramophone records and asks them to give them to those he had promised: Mala and Patrick and Oliver. He longs to hear Ashcombe news.
